Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | A Message from the Deep


MM.png


Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!


This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.


Why Mischievous?

We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

This week's theme : A Message from the Deep

While on a deep-sea diving expedition to explore unknown territories of the ocean, you find yourself enveloped in the serene, mysterious blue depths. As you descend further, a massive, ancient creature, unseen by human eyes until now, emerges from the darkness and begins to circle you. It communicates, sending a powerful message directly to your mind. What profound secrets does this guardian of the deep share with you, a lone diver far from the surface world?

A few months ago I competed in this competition and I spoke about how my partner always moves things and then thinks she didn't and I spend a lot of time finding things.

I said that I would start moving her items to provide her with a similar experience to what I endure.

I'm here to report that.... you must not do that.

What entailed was a lot more of my things going missing like my atm card, playstation controller, protein powders and pre workouts. I can not explain how bad this backfired.

Turns out she has the ability to get rhe kids involved in the payback but the problem is, once the kids are involved. No one knows where things are, not even the kids can remember where they hide things.

I'm constantly finding things weeks after the initial prank was pulled.

Failed this one.

We have the same situation, my partner is also fun of hiding things and I really have busy situations I experienced by finding those things I need to use. Not knowing, she already hid it.

Thank you gor sharing your entry here. 😊

Hiya folks!

Great initiative, great topic 💕

Considering that I don't know how to swim, I don't see myself embarking on an expedition to the bottom of the sea 😆 ​​but, for the sake of this competition, let's say that I'm going on that expedition.

The ocean is dark as well as wonderful, the first thing I would feel would be fear, then amazement, at all the wonders of that ecosystem. As I descend it becomes darker and darker, so much so that the helmet lights are not completely sufficient.
And there it finds me, and surprisingly it is not scary at all, rather it produces a quite pleasant feeling of peace, especially considering the situation.

What secret did he share with me? The meaning of life. Simple right?

Well, it's not sarcasm, it's reality, it's simpler than we think. It varies from person to person, billions of people around the globe, and the chances of two people matching perspectives are very slim. For some, the meaning of life resides in fame, for others is money, or the pursuit of happiness.

All real, all valid.

The creature reads me like an open book and explains that as far as he can see, for me the meaning of life lies in being genuine, without covers, without lies, and taking responsibility for what we do, say, and think, for better or worse. Talk about deep huh?

Being genuine is the best way to live, you show yourself as you are, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and thus you can have a very full and satisfying life since you will have better access to the tools you need to get ahead, one day at a time, but with the conviction that everything will turn out well. Talk about deep huh?

That is true, it is better to know our attitude, it is also reflected as the deep sea just as our attitude we have in Life. Thank you for sharing your deep explanation entry here.

Great (and original) topic!

I guess the creature would be really old and wise as in my imagination thede deep see creatures live tens and maybe hundreds of years. As it's a wise creature, it would send signals to my brain about how world peace could be established.

As I never have engaged with such a creature, I could only guess, but I would think it would be signals about tolerance / open-minded / getting to know other cultures / listening /...

I don't hope we'll have to wait for such an encounter to get world peace but I think we'll need to see such a miracle with the state of the world today...

I definitily agree, if people would know about other cultures, I guess there would be less extremism in the world. But yea, when we look at the current state, there still is a lot of work that needs to be done..

Thank you!

I feel exactly the same way. We could all live happily in peace if everyone respected other cultures.

It would be really nice if a mythological and wise creature could lead us on the right path... but given the way things are today I think we human beings would be able to question his advice.
But let us not lose hope for peace.

I fear I have to agree with you but still, I wouldn't want to give up the idea of peace...

And indeed, human beings would still be able to question such advice. I hope one day...

Thanks a lot for the support1 sir qurator.2 congratulations to other winners.

As3 I went deep into the blue waters, I observed the calm and serene environment for the first time. Though the waters are way more deep and complex compared to hive,4 i still went deeper and deeper.

Going deep, I witness5 a weird scene. It was as if the waters were closing in on me and I could see a transparent thing getting closer and closer. I paused to have a good look and oh wow, there was a huge sea creature in my front. I froze in shock, mouth wide open with some saliva drooling out of my mouth.

My thoracic cavity could not contain the rhythmic beating of my heart, so I placed my hands on my chest to assist it, while I jolted back with fear displayed all over my face and eyes. Words could not come out of my mouth as the adrenaline rush was much for my brain to contain, making it shut down for some seconds.

Don't be afraid, I am not going to hurt you. Said the sea creature which made my brain (which is trying to come back to normal) go into offline mode.

I could only say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I could not remember the next thing that followed.
Upon waking up, I was layed on a rock-like bed. I saw the beast beside me, being friendly and nice.

What do you want? I asked

Don't worry, I am not going to hurt you. I am happy to see that you are fine. I wanted to talk to you about the happenings in the plant. Said the creature.

What about the happenings? I asked with curiosity.

The creature replied: Humans are killing the planet. The seas, rivers and oceans are being flooded by waste which is killing aquatic life. Pollution is the order of the day and the fishes and other aquatic creatures, including me, have to move elsewhere which is not as comfortable as our previous home. Why can't humans find a better way to dispose waste? Must we pay the price of humans mismanagement?

I stood in disappointment and could not say a word.

The beast continued: would it kill to properly manage your waste without threatening the lives of other beings? Why are humans as selfish as this?

After pouring out it's heart, (if it has one) all i could say is chill, i would talk to my kind and see how they will eradicate the improper waste disposal.

I talked to the sea creature about a hive project called cleanplanet ran by the cleanplanet community with the @cleanplanet as major source of rewarding users and @nwothini335 being the community moderator who assists in some activities of the community. I also told the creature that I will invite @qurator to also assist to support the cleaners in cleanplanet so that moe cleaners will join the team.

I will love to see sir @qurator support the cleaners of @cleanplanet.

Thank you sir.

The idea was very creative, I wrote a short text reporting the entire situation I went through from before the dive until the end of the events.

It was a day like any other, I was diving to observe and appreciate the corals in the North of the country. Upon returning to the boat, I notice the presence of an unusual wind, followed by a devastating hurricane, I run into the boat and cling to firm parts of the vessel. I despair as I am thrown in all directions, lose consciousness and wake up on my boat in an area of the ocean I am unfamiliar with. All the equipment burned and I'm without food and water. "The only thing I had left was a diving suit and some oxygen tanks."

I feel desperate without knowing what to do, a thousand and one situations run through my mind, I need to calm down, what should I do? I think a little and decide to dive in to calm my nerves and regain my senses in the face of an unusual situation. When diving, I realize that there are no fish, I find it strange, but I continue descending to the depths. I feel like I'm being watched, but when I look in all directions I see nothing. My body gets goose bumps, a feeling of unusual fear, what is happening, should I return? I stop for a few seconds, come to my senses and decide to return. I feel something touch my body, but I don't see anything, my heart is cold with fear, will this be the end of me?

I feel a presence around me, it's as if water is creating shape. I observe everything and still I can't believe what I see, a gigantic creature materializes in front of me. I have no reaction whatsoever, life passes before my eyes, it's my end! There's no escaping it, it's gigantic. I can't move a muscle in my body, have I accepted my end? No, fear prevents me from speaking or reacting. I just watch and out of nowhere I hear something inside my head. I am getting crazy? No, it's as if someone was talking to me. "At this moment I believe it's really my end, I'm hearing voices"

The voice continues in my mind and says: hello human, what are you doing here? I don't know what to do, I have no way to speak, I'm many meters below sea level. The voice speaks again: answer, I can hear your thoughts. Trembling with fear I think, am I going to die? He responds: it just depends on you! I stand without action for a few seconds and ask: what do you want? I arrived here by mistake. Then he replies: I am the king of the sea, I live in the depths of the ocean, this is a sacred area, no one can stay in this place except me.

The creature begins to speak: I haven't seen a human in millennia, no, it's been millennia since I've seen anything other than the sea. I want to leave here, but I can't, because it would be the end of everything you know.

Human, since you are here, I will tell you something before your end: I have been here since the beginning of the universe, my simple presence guarantees that there is life in the sea, I am a maritime deity, only gods can stand in my presence and you definitely cannot a god, but you did something that no human has done, you managed to see me. The world you know will one day end, humans want destroy the sea and I fight back with best I can: earthquakes, tsunamis and tidal waves are warnings I send frequently. If my last son dies and the sea becomes lifeless, I will do the same to all you. This is my warning to humanity, it is a shame that you will not be able to carry this message to them, because it is its end.

I listen carefully to everything, I can't do anything in the face of such danger, I realize that it's going to attack me, I try to swim quickly, but after a simple movement from the creature...

We can truly have some imagination if we enter or dive in to the sea World. We don't know what's in there and what animals may we seen and encountered. Listening carefuly is very important so that we can avoid danger and we already know what to do.

A good explanation you have my friend. 👍😊

OK, it's not easy... I try to descend to the bottom of the sea and wait to be surrounded by the sea creature.

Here it comes towards me, surrounded by a bright light, then suddenly I feel myself being swallowed up by the sea current, downwards, lower and lower.

I think I am drowning, but instead I find myself in an unfamiliar high-tech world and looking up I notice a ceiling of water. Above us was the depth of the ocean.
I found myself as if in limbo between the depth of the earth and the depth of the sea.

Around me the sea creature gestures with what looks like arms, mentally telling me that I am in Bitcoin City.
Whoa, whoa, what are you guys talking about? About crypto and blockchain?

The creature explains to me the existence of their alien civilisation that has always lived here and uses an intergalactic network of blockchains to manage its economies and resources.

It was time to know the truth and where the cryptocurrency came from, which was not a human invention, but from the God of the Oceans Nakamoto.
In an instant I was reminded why Satoshi Nakamoto is nowhere to be found and this story seemed so real to me.

But why they wanted to share their technology with us... and the creature understands my concerns and gives me a message of peace and tranquillity, telling me that we need to make a new evolution and create a world where humanity and other alien species can coexist peacefully.
And precisely the blockchain will be the bridge to interplanetary understanding and cooperation.

Then I wake up, look around and luckily I am on the couch at home, it was a dream!
I get up but.. realise I'm dripping on the floor..

If we really dive in to the deep sea connected in Bitcoin or crypto currencies, we will know the histories or stories behind of it, and it might also be very interesting to know about. The sea current is also represent the decision we will make to become success in the blockchain.

Good explanation my friend. 😊

He would say to me:
"Hello little insignificant being!
Do you think you walk the surface reigning over everything on earth?
Do you really believe that you are the superior intelligence in the universe?
How could it be when others like you die of hunger, even if global food production exceeds demand?
How could it be when it destroys the ecosystem that is fundamental to its own survival?
Return to the surface and live out your misery while you still can."
